The Narta Group has assembled its best ever line-up of world-class speakers for its 60th anniversary Executive Leadership Conference to be held in May.
While Narta hosts frequent smaller supplier and member briefings and seminars, this is the first Narta Executive Leadership Conference of its kind to be held in 10 years – as this event was originally scheduled to take place in 2020.
“We had pre-paid deposits to organise this conference back in 2019 to be held in 2020 and then Covid happened,” Narta chairman Kay Spencer told Appliance Retailer.
“Due to Covid, we were fortunate at the time to be able to hold over these deposits, but we knew we would lose these deposits if the conference did not take place before June 2025.
“Narta’s 60th anniversary Executive Leadership Conference will feature our best ever speakers and content program.
“It is an appropriate way to commemorate Narta’s 60th anniversary by bringing the world’s best retailers and suppliers together with the world’s best thought leaders.
“Delegates attending the Leadership Conference will witness a program of world-class speakers specifically chosen to address the current challenges presented to retailers and suppliers including Cyber Security, Artificial Intelligence, Executive Leadership Skills, Personal Health & Development, Geopolitics and the Global Economy.”
While Spencer remains tight-lipped regarding the details of the conference, she has confirmed the presenters represent some of the most in-demand speakers globally.
“There are a few local speakers presenting at this year’s Executive Leadership Conference that we have highly valued in the past, however all international speakers assembled have never presented at a Narta event before to ensure delegates hear from the best current global business minds and thought leaders with contemporary insights and global experiences.
“This is an event that brings together the best content and the best networking opportunities available in our industry and this is only available in a conferencing format. Everyone who attends a Narta Executive Leadership Conference takes back something intellectually, personally or professionally for themselves and for their business,” Spencer said.
“There has never been a more crucial time for our industry to come together – amidst pressure and challenges – to collaborate, thrive, and rejuvenate our mindsets for the future.”
